Wildflowers

Maureen Fleming in Wildflowers Maureen Fleming

La MaMa and Irish Arts Center present Maureen Fleming in the World Premiere of WILDFLOWERS, A FEMININE GENESIS. Created, choreographed, and performed by Fleming, this unique dance production features live music by acclaimed Irish composer/violinist Colm Mac Con Iomaire and uilleann piper James Mahon, with pianist Bruce Brubaker performing music by Philip Glass and geometric moving sculptures and lighting by longtime collaborator Christopher Odo. WILDFLOWERS, A FEMININE GENESIS is a sensuous celebration of the feminine archetype inspired by the lush symbolism of Irish poet William Butler Yeats. Maureen Fleming’s interdisciplinary work coalesces her singular sculptural movement with original live music, video, text by Yeats and other uniquely theatrical visuals to create a series of “vision poems.”
